The exhaust sounds pretty good!! How about at just regular highway cruising speeds 65-80 mph? Does it drone inside? What brand of exhaust system is that?

It doesn't drone that much from 65-80+ it seems that the wind around the car is louder than the exhaust. Now that could be because I am traveling to fast to hear the sound from the exhaust or that is how the exhaust is designed. The exhaust is HKS Silent Hi-Power. Its 2 1/4" ID pipe. One of these days I will change it all to 3" ID pipe.

What did you do with your 161 door seals. I was going to take the metal insert out and put into the 147 door seals. With some major modification it can be done, but I don't know if I want to spend that much time on my door seals plus my stock door seals aren't in that good of shape. Just knid of curious of what other people might have done.

I really didn't do anything as of yet. I still have them sitting here, I'm just starting my 3rd build. I was going to see if i could take off the face plate and put it onto a illuminating door sill. I found illuminated Lexus door sills but that defeats the purpose since i'm going a aristo conversion. So if i can just take off the face plate and wire it so that it illuminates when i open the doors then ill be satisfied.

That sounds like it would be a pain, but well worth the effort. Makes me rethink my strategy.

I was wondering if anyone knows why my traction loss light is on? It comes on as soon as I shift the car out of park. I would think its a sensor somewhere in the rear. If someone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. I could just live with it or take the bulb out, but I like my cars to be fixed properly. If you need to know what I am talking about look at post 15 the last video where I am messing around. Again all help is much appreciated.

Ok so I did something smart. I looked up what the warning light with the car and the little lines out the back mean. Its rear bulb malfunction. I checked all the lights in the rear and they all work. Anyone have ideas on how to fix? I know this thread is kind of dead but I figured I would post on here instead of posting a new thread.

I've actually found out that the bulb wattage is different than what the rear light ecu likes. Tomorrow I am going to get out there and find out what wattage that is.
